Yeah they sure have. Running GPUs endlessly to execute thousands of transactions per day. Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds? You can literally run a pub-sub equivalent of BTC for 1/1,000,000,000 of the cost involved in crypto and a million times more performant while preserving all the benefits touted in cryptos. The reason why we don’t have this isn’t because we can’t. It’s because the financial institutions are too entrenched. And the same institutions have taken over the cryptocurrency space. Do you not see what’s happening?

Explain how pubsub is impervious to the operator of the pubsub shutting down, due to governmental pressure or otherwise.
